This book goes so much deeper into Georgie and her past and the magic and it is absolutely wonderful! Also, Lachlan. <3 The entire story just keeps building from book 1, and I can't wait to see where it's going! I think Georgie's story may be my favorite yet.

Note: I read an ARC of this book, but the opinions are my own.

It was pretty slow-paced and felt longer than it is ( a book less than 200 pages)
It is pretty meh though.
The information was interesting, I love the fae lore and some possible revelations of Georgie's past.
I liked Fyfa telling the story of Daracha

Looking for something original to read? This book (the whole series) ticks all of the boxes for me. Georgie is a fierce and lovable heroine, a Wise. This book takes her on the journey of discovering who she really is, while plotting to take down the evil witch who's intent on burning Wises. Loved it. Cannot wait for the next book!

Not much to say about this book. I felt like most of it could have been skipped and instead combine this book with the next one, but oh well. Some weird transitions between chapters and things happening out of nowhere, while the character apparently noticed it before we as readers are told it happened.

Still doesn't feel like a YA in any way, and I keep forgetting that the characters are supposed to be barely 18yo. I guess that's kinda the point, tho, as YA does cover the age-gap between 16-21 or so, so I guess it fits, but it's unusual to find a book with this age group and this kind of lifestyle marketed as YA. I think. I tend to avoid YA., because I don't like the drama.

A little unsure about the disability-tag, but there is a character with some kind of ailment of the blood, which seem to cause fatigue. I have to admit I'm curious about the story behind that. Hopefully, we get to know more about it in the next book.

The second book in this series was so amazing. I cannot wait for the third book to come out. So many OMG moments. So much action and imagery. You really feel like you are in these worlds. The writing is amazing. Just when you think you have it figured out, something else happens to turn it all upside down. This book was riveting. You will thoroughly enjoy this book.
